⊙如何辨析other和another?⊙
another 與the other都表示「另一個」。那麼another與other有何區別?
1. 不定代詞other相當於名詞或形容詞,可以在句中作主語、賓語、定語等。相當於名詞時,有複數形式others。
作主語:He has two toys. One is for me, the other is for himself.
作賓語:I have two pictures. You have seen one. Now I will show you the other.
作定語:There are other ways of helping him out of difficulty.
2. 不定代詞another是由an和other構成。因此它只能代替或修飾可數的單數名詞,前面不再用冠詞。可以在句中作主語、賓語、表語和定語。
作主語:One (girl) wanted to read, and another wanted to watch TV.
作賓語:Please give me another.
作表語:She is a fool, and her sister is another.
作定語:Would you like another cup of coffee?
3. 對比other與another
(1)the other 用於兩者中的另一個,another 指三者以上中的另一個:
He has two toys. One is for me, the other is for himself.
他有2個玩具,一個是給我的,另一個是他自己的。
(2)another 還有 「再……」 的意思,other 有 「另外」 的含義:
Have another cup of coffee, please.
再喝一杯咖啡吧!
(3)修飾數詞的結構不同:數詞+other+複數名詞= another+數詞+複數名詞:
I read two more books this week. =I read two more books this week.
這周我多看了兩本書。
(4)one another 與 each other:兩者均表示「彼此」、「互相」。
一般認為,each other 用於兩者間,
one another 用於三者或以上,
但在現代英語中,兩者常可換用。
We should always help each other.
我們應該經常互相幫助。
另外,童鞋們還要注意,注意:other表泛指,the other 表特指,與其複數others和the others 同理。
another[ə'nʌðə]限定詞或代詞,意為「又一,另一,再一;不同的;類似的」。
I don't like this room.I'm going to ask for another.
我不喜歡這個房間。我打算另要一間。
